Well, I finally made it to Philadelphia! Technically, it was a business trip but I made a whole thing of it because I'd never been before. There are no direct flights from COS to PHL, so I flew out of the Springs and went to Chicago for the first time. I wasn't worried about my …

Well, the 2018 Shelby's family come to Colorado for vacation was a hit. We had fun to say the least. The closest to a family vacation with all of us before this one was all of us in Vegas a few years ago for my dad's birthday. This was even better. My mom found us …

Travis & I are late to the solar eclipse game, so to speak. We planned out trip to the path of totality a mere month ago, because #procrastinationlife. We made careful plans to slowly make our way north from Tulelake to Bend then on to Madras with plenty of time in-between for traffic. If you've …
While I love Yosemite being in my backyard, Redwoods NP maybe one of my favorite parks. Travis and I discovered this gorgeous park in 2014 after moving to California and immediatly signed up for a short 5K run at a State Park near the National Park areas, and basically these are jointly managed parks by …

I started this series with Yosemite NP, because this park is literally in my backyard (if my backyard was all of Central California).

It never crossed my mind to write about all the National Parks I've visited and I have one in my own backyard! As a kid my parents took me and my sister to see a lot of the parks in the Southwest of the United States, my husband and I have continued the tradition and …
